Spring updates...
Feels like a super long time since I blogged...
(Erin, you read my mind).
Here are my quick updates with more to come later-
While I LOVE running, (it's my freedom, my sanity, my high-on-life boost) I didn't so much catch the 'marathon bug' that can often bite after wards. I MIGHT do another Half Marathon this year, but I'm thinking 10Ks are right up my alley. Thinking out loud.... maybe my next running goal is to do a 10K in 10 minute miles. My time now fluctuates between 12 and 14... way up there. I'm definitely not going for anything like my dentist, for instance, he runs 7 minute miles- ouch!
I had the opportunity (by the grace of a darn helpful family) to attend BYU Women's Conference for two days straight. WOW! What a great experience! I have oodles and oodles of notes and a renewed testimony of the Lord's Gospel.
I have new and exciting scrapbook project. It's going to take a lot of time, but it will be soooooo worth it. I'm so looking forward to seeing how it turns out. I'd say more, but it's a Christmas present so I can't spoil it.
Mother's Day is coming up. I think it should be called women's day or something similar. I think all women at one time or another help mother children, even if they don't have any of their own yet, or ever. I got my present early.. a fabulous running watch. I love it!
Latest funny: Riding home in the van after a super fun time with friends who have kids our kids' ages.
Christian said: "Mom, Dad, I have a tweezel in my hand and it really hurts."
I said: "You have a what?"
Ch: "My hand really hurts, there's a tweezel in it."
Mom: "You mean you have a sliver?"
Ch: "No!" "I said I have a tweezel in my hand"
Mom: "Honey, it looks like you have a sliver in your hand. We can use the 'tweezers' to help get it out."
Ch: "No, Mom it's a tweezel and dad can get it out."
Well, isn't that nice :)

Pasta Party!
I forgot to take a picture of the mounds of awesome pasta we all brought tonight for our own 'pasta party'. I guess it's tradition to have a pasta pig out the night before you Marathon (or in our case 1/2 marathon).
What a fun carb load! I love you gals!
Here's to us crossing the finish line before 10 am! We can do it!
GO MARATHON MOMMIES!!!

Tooth Fairy Moment #2
Oh, tooth fairy...don't go so soon.
Apparently, there was ANOTHER loose tooth next to Calle's tooth she just lost. We think she is saving up for a big toy she wants soon. What a sweetheart!

No Fear
Lincoln has adopted this "no fear" attitude when roaming around the house from...guess who? Larkin, of course!
Our Karate Kid
Christian absolutely loves Karate for Kids! This is a picture with his instructor, Mr. Dickinson - 5th Level Black Belt and State Champion for 2007. Yes, you read it right. 5th Level! Whoa!
